Past blood-soaked shores, beyond a desolate wasteland, the Misery King sits upon his throne of suffering and shares stories of isolation, madness, and corruption.
Sink into this sinister collection by Kevin M. Folliard featuring twenty-seven works of rural and urban horror. Cunning cryptids, warped subway tunnels, infected livestock, and slippery snake oil salesmen permeate these tales previously featured by The Horror Tree, Sinister Smile Press, The Dread Machine, and more.
“Bumper-to-Bumper” depicts an ancient demon’s quest to burn through a maddening Chicago traffic jam. In “Jack of Spades,” two boys play a dangerous card game with a two-dimensional nightmare who collects souls. And a heartbroken workaholic discovers a mythological world of torment at the hands of a hideous beast in “Satyr.”
From wretched wilderness to cursed cityscapes, these shore-to-shore scares capture the strangeness of human society.
